Thought you might enjoy this short go-pro video. My bro had to pick up a friend at the Rochester airport, and with no wheels this time of year, picked him up on the Genesee River (see airport on left). Going under I-390 at speed is a nice touch. Never had much luck posting a you tube, if someone could please fix, thanks https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4auraDoaLPY ------------- 1974 Southwind 18 1975 Century Mark II |

Nope, said controllers were great once they understood the plan. ------------- 1974 Southwind 18 1975 Century Mark II |

| As a float plane pilot I can appreciate the video. Flying floats is simply awesome. |

That was good. Here is another go pro airplane video, slightly different, in the the plane was an RC plane. A friend of mine did this over our lake earlier this summer. ------------- _____________ “So, how was your weekend?” “Well, let me see…sun burn, stiff neck, screwed up back, assorted aches and pains….yup, my weekend was great, thanks for asking.” |

Interesting how the camera just gets hammered until he gets up on the step, maybe I am more surprised that their is so little spray at those speeds. Anyway cool stuff ------------- Our http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=4669" rel="nofollow - 98 Sport Nautique My Dad's 63 Ski N |

yes, you can take off and land in 3200', normally much less. You do also have to consider the terrain that you need to climb over. ------------- 1974 Southwind 18 1975 Century Mark II |

Cessna 180. Taildragger when on wheels, so when the rear wheel is off, the empty strut makes a great mounting location for the GoPro. When the wheels are on they are of the larger bush variety, great for varied surfaces. Then in winter, on go the skis, I posted a video of that last winter. Can't recall the specific model year, 1960 or thereabouts. He's had it for 20 years or so. Here's a photo of it with our favorite family heirloom.......  ------------- 1974 Southwind 18 1975 Century Mark II |

Here's a great GoPro skiplane video his friend made when they were out playing in the snow on Keuka Lake NY last winter. The friends plane is the red/white one the camera's attached to, the other one is my bro's. http://vimeo.com/horizonchaser/surfing-the-polar-vortex ------------- 1974 Southwind 18 1975 Century Mark II |
